Jerry and I both hold performance as the critical factor in a knife's function. This factor is deeply seated with both of us. This is due to some bad experiences when we were kids. We would save our money for a long time and buy what we thought were good knives only to have them break or have the blade chip away. When we tried to claim on the warranty there was always a loop hole that protected the store/manufacturer and we were out the money, but more importantly the knife. This is why our warranties are iron clad for the customer.
I also had similar problems and that’s why I so love the Busse Kin knife companies. A lot of companies are slippery, and then claim things like “Oh, well, that’s considered abuse, that’s not covered.” I’m so glad you guys not only do outrageous things with your knives, but encourage us to do the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
